The 2024 Cabo Wabo 250 was the 21st stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 32nd iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, August 17, 2024, at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan, a 2.0 miles (3.2 km) permanent quad-oval shaped racetrack. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 125 laps, but was increased to 128 laps due to a NASCAR overtime finish. Justin Allgaier, driving for JR Motorsports, would survive a chaotic race on fuel mileage, and won after leading when the caution came out on the final lap. This was Allgaier's 25th career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his second of the season.[9] To fill out the podium, Sheldon Creed and John Hunter Nemechek, both driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

The race was marred by a scary last-lap flip from Kyle Sieg on the backstretch. On the final lap, a mid-pack collision took place after Parker Kligerman bumped into the back of Caesar Bacarella, getting him loose and spinning out Carson Kvapil. Trying to avoid the wreck, Leland Honeyman bumped into the back of Sieg, spinning him around and involving Chandler Smith. Sieg flipped on his roof and smacked the inside wall, before rolling back on all four tires in the grass. Sieg was able to climb out under his own power, he was visibly shaken up from the wreck and had small pain in his right arm.[10][11]

With his 11th runner-up finish, Sheldon Creed surpassed Dale Jarrett for the most runner-up finishes in the Xfinity Series without a win.[12]
